If Justin Beiber can manage to get signed then this guy difinatly needs to be. Though he would need to be his own producer, cause every label out there would try and put him on some sort of shitty techno beat/modern rnb bullshit.

I got that same vibe. I wonder if I've ever seen him downtown before...

Honey, stop talking and just create the music.

Great strong spirit. Wish him all the best in his life.

Reminds me of Brazilian singer Seu Jorge who also lived on the streets for years while creating music, and eventually released his work.

LOVE the quality of his voice. I'd absolutely buy his CD.

Neither do I. But I have known a few with guitars. I'm assuming the mic & stand were lent to him for the purpose of this video. I hope he finds success through this YouTube clip.

If you follow the link to YouTube, the 1080p HD version of this clip sounds phenomenal, I've downloaded it to keep. Apparently he's on iTunes as well, and the sales help with food & clothing. This is a good thing.

A great version. Makes you think of Prince's missed opporturnity when he canceled his MTV Unplugged gig.
